Thanks.
Do you have any books or sources on the gatewidth IRCCM? The only thing close to FoV reduction I’ve heard about is this:
FoV Effects
But that has the seekers FoV smaller as a hard stop, it is not adjustable. The seeker is able to gimbal on it’s mechanism but the FoV is the same. To change the FoV, that requires a change to the optical system inside the missile, the seeker construction I’ve seen have no way of adjusting the that, they are fixed components.
I could be wrong, which is why I would like some sources to read about it.
gateWidth is the instantaneous FoV of the seeker without stuff like the sidewinders expanded acquisition mode, which is more or less a rapid area search more than a widened FoV. Other ordnance has the ability to increase or decrease FoV, some just has a very small FoV to begin with.
Ultimately the concept is simple, a smaller FoV and discriminatory wavelength detection to focus on that closer to airframe emissions.

This is a response to (AFAIK) the largest player organized poll on the forums.
They seem to miss the critical element of the poll, which is that both are equally ahistorical, but one is a direct nerf.
Do we have any sources to show that the PL-8B’s multi-element is closer to Seeker Shutoff as opposed to Gatewidth or is it just all for nothing?
This is poll btw IRCCM type on the PL-8B [Poll]

You can try to use some Patent/Research paper regarding multi element seeker as source
I have been trying to find one that specifies the PL-8B’s capabilities. I may try to get into contact with a technical university soon to ask if they have any papers that aren’t available on the internet.

There’s a paper called Simulation and Analysis of 4-unit Infrared Guiding-head’s Anti-jamming Principle. One of the author came from the Eighth Institute of Airforce so it’s reliable.
Spoiler
Section 2.1 of the paper outlines the 4-unit infrared guiding-head’s anti-jamming principle. It have both seeker shutoff （main） and gatewidth (about 1°)

i love how everyone wants objectively worse IRCCM on a good missile this makes no sense

Thank you, I’ll be using this in the report.
seeker shutoff is better for longer range IR missiles which PL-8B (if it gets the upgraded booster) will benefit greatly from it.

How is gate width the better IRCCM in the game? If you pre-flare, it just kills the gate-width IRCCM missile.
Does anyone know where this came from? I want to see the rest of the source to see if it has any information I can use to polish up the report.
Gatewidth is inferior to suspension IRCCM. Everybody knows this.

Why are we even arguing for suspension IRCCM? That’s not what it uses IRL. It should be for the time being a copy-paste TY-90 seeker until they model the more advanced features of IRCCM. If they modeled it accurately, it would effectively be gatewidth with it’s own algorithm for rejecting flares (not suspension, suspension is the weakest algorithm you can have for this type of IRCCM). If they really wanted to model it accurately, they would have to have the algorithm simulate what the multi-element array is seeing on the gain/return and making decisions based off that data.
